Stevie Ray Vaughan's musical instruments

This is a list and description of the guitars and other equipment played by musician Stevie Ray Vaughan. Vaughan played a number of Fender Stratocasters throughout his career, one of which, a 1963 body and a late 1962 rosewood (curved fingerboard) neck, became "the most famous battered Strat in rock history." He was notoriously hard on his guitars, and many of them required extensive periodic maintenance. He used a limited number of (mainly vintage) effect pedals, and favored Fender and Marshall amplification.

Vaughan was hard on his instruments and his equipment and was reported to hear even the slightest malfunction, even when, for instance, he was running 32 amplifiers into the mixing console for the recording of In Step. His guitars were serviced by Charley Wirz of Charley's Guitar Shop in Dallas, Texas, and especially Rene Martinez, who worked in Wirz's shop for a while. Martinez also built guitars for Carlos Santana. His amplifiers were tuned and serviced by César Díaz, also the guitar technician for Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan.

Main (band)

Main were a Britishambient band formed in 1991 by the guitarists Robert Hampson and Scott Dowson, the former members of Loop. They combined ambient sound with layers of electric guitars and dark, foreboding emotional overtones. In 2006, Hampson announced that Main had effectively been disbanded in favour of his solo work.

In October 2010, Hampson announced that he would be reactivating Main, and that along with his solo acousmatic work, he would start performing and recording in a more collaborative process with other sound artists.

In 2011, the German composer Stephan Mathieu joined Hampson for a current incarnation of Main.

I bought an old home in Del RioThe status-quo stucco looked like the AlamoNeighbor Jethro brought by his frescoLo and behold he showed where good neighbors abodeHe offered tobacco to which I vetoedI said I only smoke alone separate and soloHe wanted to know how I liked Del RioAnd if the lack of snow had made it all perfectoAnd I replied...Chorus:Oh, why here it's so-sobut it is no, no ColoradoI miss my home and the cocoaI wanna go home...He helped me unload my pianoAnd then I played him oh a favorite concertoHe yelled profundo while I played allegroAnd then he tip-tap-toed through my accelerandosGave him a banjo and said "strum what you know"Then I pretended I was Dinos my old maestroHe kept in tempo and I said bravoHe picked the dearest notes that gave me thoughts ofsweet hopeOh....ChorusAfter the song show I offered jam & toastHe said he'd forego and he left to tend his young goatsSo I unpacked soap, found my bathrobeAnd decided it'd be nice to sit and soakOn the backbone of the commodeI placed a family photo then let out a sad moanThen a new groan of hunger followed,And I bought two tacos and an H20 to goYeh there is no place no, no place quite like your homeYeh there's no place no, no place quite like your home
